Street Hawker Gifted One Thousand Cedis

Cynthia Helego, 25, from Keta Woe in the Volta Region is not an orphan but her financial background is certainly nothing to write home about. As a level 300 student of the University of Cape Coast, she must find ways to pay her yearly Ghc 2,800 school fees with little or no help from her parents.

The ambitious lady, studying a Sandwich Diploma programme in Transport and Road safety Management, took up the hawking of locally made detergents on the streets of Accra.

She has no option than to ‘perch’ with friends at Kasoa to do her business. With a small capital, she could only sell a handful of the products but she has been able to save Ghc 500 in a bid to start another business. She has already bought flour and butter the money was able to suffice.

Looking weary on a hot Thursday afternoon carrying her items, which could even be counted from afar, Crime Check Foundation (CCF) met her while embarking on its Street Charity Series project. Luck finally found her but she had no clue.

CCF intended giving her Ghc 500 to enable her expand her detergent business but she ended up receiving Ghc 1,000 when she opened up on her next business idea. A surprise that took her breath away. Helego could not thank CCF and its donors enough.

The Street Charity Series is meant to provide assistance to struggling individuals making strides on the streets to make their lives better.
